The Hoopoe Yurt Hotel

Cortes de la Frontera
Spain

The Hoopoe Yurt Hotel’s location is idyllic - set in three hectares of olives groves and unspoilt cork oak forest, and with spectacular views of the Grazalema mountains of Andalucia, in the rugged wilds of southern Spain.

Staying in one of the yurts is the perfect way to enjoy the stunning scenery, allowing you to get back to nature without forgoing the usual luxuries you would wish for on your holiday. The yurts have private bathrooms, as well as an acre of private meadow with hammocks and comfortable shaded seating areas.

This is the perfect place to unwind and relax, and soak up the sights and sounds of nature right on your doorstep. Fall asleep lulled by the sound of goats' bells and crickets. Lounge in a hammock in the shade of a giant cork oak tree. Cool off with a dip in the refreshing chlorine-free swimming pool, surrounded by blue mountains and the beauty of nature.

There are five yurts that are individually decorated, and extremely spacious and comfortable. They are all set up as double rooms with pieces of antique Mongolian furniture and as well as antique textiles from around the world. Every yurt has its own bathroom with a hot shower and ecological loo. Towels both for showering and for swimming are provided, plus olive oil soaps handmade especially for The Hoopoe.

The camp runs entirely on solar power. Every yurt has overhead and bedside lights, as well as sockets for charging mobile phones and laptops. The pergola overlooking the pool and the mountains beyond is a perfect place to watch the sun go down in the evenings, with a cocktail and a game of backgammon, on the Turkish style sofas decorated with antique kilims.

The Hoopoe Yurt Hotel takes books for 3, 4 or 7 days with changeovers on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Each night costs €130 including breakfast for 2.
